"Queen versus Owen." Co MR. ALLEN UPWARD AS A NOVELIST. A Review of "Maenhir's" Late-st Con- tribution to the Literature of the Nineteenth Century. Of all the novels with which the press of this country teems the legal novel is, without doubt, the most uninteresting. The political novel, the religious novel, the sporting novel, and the novel with a purpose—all have their dis- tinctive vices. The psychological novel and the novel given up to introspection are Lad enough but more deadly dull than any of them I' is the novel devoted to the exposition and illustration of legal procedure. Of this cha- racter is the work of fiction which, under the title of '"The Queen Against Owen, Mr. Allen Upward, of the South Wales Circuit, has just given to the world. The story told by Mr. Upward, so far as it can be disentangled from the jargon of forensic technicalities with which it is embellished, is wildly improbable. It is worse. It is true neither to nature nor to art. Disfigured by the worst crudities of the shilling shocker, it fails to excite or even to interest. But, none the less, "The Queen Against Owen serves a useiful end. On the principle of crede experto. we learn from its pages what manner of man is the average member of the South Wales Bar. And, truth to say, the picure is not flattering. Let the following conversation illustrate our meaning. It is supposed to take place between two counsel in the bar mess-room of an hotel. at lunch time, during the progress of a sensa^ t-ional trial. One of these refined and culti- vated young gentlemen is prosecuting and the other defending a girl of good family and great personal attractions on a charge of murder. Tressamer (counsel for the defence) rushed into the place in a state of exaggerated buoyancy, and loudly called for a bottle of champagne. George, how goes it ?" cried his triend. All went merry as a marriage bell," returned the other. "Have no fear; keep up your heart, old man. Leave it to me: I'll get her off. Buller (the incige) is against us, of course, on the evidence; but what do I care ? I'll get the jury. See if I don't. I'll make a bpeech this afternoon the like of which has not often been heard in this dead-and-alive hole." He had rattled on in a jerky, excited, nervous manner, and he wound up by drinking off nearly a tumblerful of champagne. Gently," said his friend, remonstrating. "You must keep cool, or you will spoil everything." Don't you be afraid, Charlie," retorted the other in the same unnaturally careless strain "it's my case, and I know how to manage it. I've sworn to save her, and, by God, I'll do it if I have to declare I did the thing myself. By Jove, didn't I touch up that scoundrel in the witness-box, though. You saw me, Beltrope ?" Tressamer (the defending counsel), having thus delivered himself, retires to his room, where Prescott, the prosecuting counsel, finds him "with his head in a basin of water," and addresses him in very grave accents: George, you must listen to me. You have told me that you love Eleanor Owen, and I suppose, as she 1w.s you to defend her, that she returns yuur love. Now, I have a confession to make to you. I love her. too." "What! You, Charles "Yes. You know I saw something of her as a child. I was fond of her then. But to-day, when I saw her so beautiful, so innocent in that dreadful place, I found another feeling overmastering me. Oh do nt be afraid. She thill aewr know it. I shall not try to take her from you. I am not the sort of man to rob his friend." And so on these artless young lawyers prat- tled to one another while the court awaited the resumption of the great murder trial 411 which they were severally engaged. But if the bar fares badly at the hands of Mr. Allen Upward, the bench is treated with equal severity. Of the judge who presided over this trial, our author thus delivers himself: Sir Daniel Buller hated sensationalism. In fact. he did not like anything which threw his own dignity into the shade. He liked to feel that he was in the star part, and that everybody else in court was merely playing up to his grand effects. Nor are other institutions spared by this remorseless critic. Justice's justice is pilloried, and Lord Christobel-a thin disguise for Lord Coleridge—is held up to admiration as the "scourge of truckling magistrates, and a thorn in the side of those petty tyrants whom our peculiar system allows to flourish in rural districts in the degraded robes of justice." In the eyes of this iconoclast nothing is sacred. "The fact is," he declares, "that the grand jury is played out. Every thing for which they originally existed is now done by some- body else. But man, brief man, placed on a grand jury, and shut into a room without the interference of a legal authority, delights to show himself off by vain and superfluous inquiry." But Mr. Alien Upward is se-en at his beet when he lays himself out to scarify that abomination of all good patriots, the landed gentleman. County society." he declares. has become a. byword for the old-fashioned 'and the hum-drum, for bad living, bad manners, and bad taste." As regards the last-mentioned quality Mr. Upward is no doubt an authority, but even if his authority were disputed he might, with perfect propriety reply, "De gusti- bus non est disputandutn." What the author's lady friends will say to his sumptuary dicta it is not for us to conjecture. The "bang," as our American friends call an almost universal modern method of wearing the hair, Mr. Upward stigmatises as that device of ugli- n-ess the artificial fringe." When, however. Mr. Upward conies to deal with the new, papers, then we feel we are at a disadvantage. Our author is known- to add to his numerous other distinctions that of an intimate personal and practical acquaintance with journalism. What he does not know about newspapers is said not to be worth knowing, and, conse- quently, the following description of the way in which illustrated journals are conducted will be read with widespread and legitimate interest; They (the newspapers in question) had already given pictures of the scene of the crime of the aeceased, and of other characters, including the prisoner. But they now threw away the Hocks rep- resenting Eleanor, and which had originally done service in America, where they represented a female temperance lecturer of moderate attractiveness, and came out with full-page illustrations, taken in one case from the portrait of the most charming actress on the Parisian stage, and all calculated to feed the growing flame of sympathy. Our space forbids our quoting at greater length from this masterpiece of contemporary fiction. We should, however, like to give Mr, Upward just one word of respectful caution before we leave him. Let him, as long as he pleases, con- tinue to libel his own profession. Under a thin disguise he may hold up occupants of the bench a.nd members of the. South Wales Bar to ridicule and contempt as long as the mess of which he is a member is content to submit to that indignity. But when he comes to deal with the profession to v> hich the writer belongs, then Mr. Upward had better have a care, and be sure that the cowardly libels with which lie adorns his uninteresting pages are sheltered behind such general terms as to prevent any of the subjects of his envenomed attacks from being able to C'an him to account in a, court of law for imputations which are as baseless as they are malignant. Another View of the Work. The London Star, which probably knows more of the peculiar kind of journalism described by Mr. Upwa.rd, takes the following view of the book :—Mr. Allen Upward has broken fresh ground in a field which, to the casual eye, would seem to be ploughed from end to end. We have stories dealing- with crime from every point of view-the point of view of the detective, the man in the street, and the criminal himself. Mr. Upward goes to the Bar, and his story,The Queen against Owen" (Chatto and Windus) is written from the benches of an assize court. It is very clever, well and brightly written, and of enthralling interest—and this last is the highest praise tha.t can be given to a ) book of this type. Mr. Upward does not rely on the [perspicuity of any one of his characters for j the unravelling of the skein of murder and robbery he himself has so deftly woven, the real murderer confessing before lie commits suicide^ The discovery of the identity of the crimina; comes as a startling surprise, and it would be decidedly unfair ts give the key to a eleven^ conceived mystery. There is an amusing sketch f of the judges' procession in an assize town as well as of the two judges themselves. Mr Upward knews the value of dramatw situation I. but uses his kno-viedg-e well. r

MRS. LONGSHORE-POTTS. [ Manager Harrison Replies to Matron's'' Letter. On Monday night there was a large audience at the Lesser Park-hall. Cardiff, where Mrs. Longshore-Potts, M.D., who is delivering a course of health lectures to women, discoursed on Cupid, Chloe, and Hymen" in all instruc- tive and interesting manner. TO THE EDITOR OF THE "EVENING EXPRESS." SIB.,—"A Matron" is in error about young ¡ girls attending the lectures to women by I Mrs. Longshore-Potts, M.D. The atten- dants at the door have had strict instructions to admit no girls under sixteen years of age unless accompanied by their parents. Both my assistants and I have seen that this rule has been carefully enforced. Neither have the book-selling boys peeped in at the doors. Mrs. Potts' secretary-f-, young woman-has frequently done so to ascertain if she was wanted. To our personal know- ledge, several ladies have attended cur lecture alone, and afterwards brought their daughters. Through this, possibly, "A Matron's" error arises. We think, also, that the majority -of women will disagree with "A Matron" as to the propriety of instruc- tion of the nature given by Dr. Potts being listened to by girls. Ignorance is not innocence. A Matron" may understand hygiene and physiology well enough to instruct her daugh- ters. That the majority do not is attested by the warm interest in the lectures and the un- necessary amount of illness. I am, <fc-c.. GEO. E. HARRISON, M.D. Manager. March 12. GEO. E. HARRISON, M.D., Manager. March 12. ö TO THE EDITOR. OF THE EVENING EXPRESS." 1 SIB.—Although I do not agree with Mrs. f Longshore Potts on the score of that lady's ill-advised crusade against athletics i for girls, still, I can sympathise with her at being lectured herself in to- day's Western Mail by A Matron." It is too bad, indeed, after having done her best by dividing the sexes in her lectures for her to be further required to prevent little boys looking c through creaks and little girls from retailing what they have seen, second-hand, to their comrades. Perhaps" A Matron will go fur- ther. and tell Mrs. Longshore-Potts how she is to rectify these grave matters? Is it, per- chance, by young females before passing in pro- ducing age certificates of birth ? Anyhow. I fear me. the mischief is done.—I am. &c.. Cardiff. DELIGHTED.

THE RENDEL PEERAGE. I Why the Title Should Not be Viscount Montgomery." I The Globe says —The statement that Mr I Stuart Rendel intends to assume the style and title of Lord Montgomery" has been repeatedly made, and, as it has not been contradicted, we suppose it may be assumed to be true. Even so ardent a Radical as Mr. Rendel may find that the Heralds' Office has its uses, and that one of them would be to save him from plagiarism if he would condescend to ask for advice there. The second title of the Earl of Pembroke is that of second title of the Earl of Pembroke is that of Earl of Montgomery," Jvlr. Rendel will subject himself and his descendants to rather mortifying comparisons, M t' at the crea- tion dates from 1605 and t Lord Pem- broke is the tenth Lord Mo- r; The Pall Mall Gazette says :—" It is under- stood," we read, that Mr. Rendel will take the title of Viscount Montgomery. Lord Pembroke, who is also Earl of Montgomery under a crea- tion of 1605, will probably have something to say to this, especially as the title has been associated with his family in another branch also. For William Herbert, Earl of Powis. was created Viscount Montgomery in 16S7 (the title became extinct in 174.5) and Marquess of Montgomery by James II. when in exile. Mr. Labouchere perhaps would say that your true Radical loves a high-sounding title in preference to retaining his own name. An Oswestry correspondent telegraphs that the report that Mr. Rendel will take the title of Viscount Montgomery is untrue.

PARK-HALL SERVICES. The Protesting Nonconforrmst Minister Explains. The paragraph which appeared in Monday's "Evening Express" attributing to the Rev. J. R. iia-vieu, pa&ior cf the Welsh Ooagreg^tioB-a! Chapel, Cardiff, the statement, in the coarse of his sermon on Sunday night, that the Park- hall popula.r Sunday afternoon services had been the ruin of many young people, created much surprise and no little indignaiton in Car- diff. The Rev. J. R. Davies, however, in an mterview with a "Evening Express" reportBr on Monday evening, complained that he had not been correctly reported. "In the first place," said he, "I did not refer to the Park-hall services at all in my sermon. What I said about them was said at the meeting of the society after the evening service, and I never said that the services had been the ruin of many young people. A deacon at the meeting mentioned that some of the e'a attendants at the Sunday School had dropped coming there, and I took that remark up, and said 1 was afraid that the Sunday afternoon services at. the Paj'k-hail attracted a good many Sunday School teachers and soholars, and I mentioned that some of the young people from my Sunday School went there very oftee.. As fair as I was concerned, my reference to thE Park-hall services finished there, but I after- wards went on to impress upon the young people how important it was to keep up their attendance at Sunday School, because if they dropped the Sunday School it would be the first step to destruction. I emphasised that statement by stating' that I knew of many instances of young people, after dropping Sun- day School, refraining from attending the Sun- day morning services, and then neglecting the Sunday evening re you opposed to the holding of these popular Sunday afternoon se1'Yices?" I should not like to give my opinion about the services, because I have not been at any of them, but I believe the motives of the pro- moters are good. My only complaint is that they have drawn young people away from my Sunday School, and I believe if you went to 3-tlier ministers of the town you would find they were having similar experiences. When I referred to the instance of a young man who had gone to irrevocable ruin I did not have the Park-hall services in view." Interview with a Promoter. Our reporter subsequently interviewed one Df the promoters of the popular Sunday after. noon services, and informed him of the nature yf the Rev. J. R. Davies's explanation. The gentleman interviewed, in reply, said: "Mr. Davies's explanation throws a different light or the matter. a'hd, after hearing it, I feel quitt sure that nothing was further from his mind than to make such imputations as those attri- buted to him in your report. Of course. I an, quite prernred to hear that there are many, like Mr. Da.vies,i who have not been to the ser vices, and have misunderstood their nature and the influence they are likely to exert. Mr. Davies refers to the frequency with which scholars drift away from the Sunday Snhooi and cease to take an interest in the work of th( Church. I know nothing about his ministQ or the work at his place of worship; but, frorf my own observations in respect to other con gregations. I only wish that the Biblf classes, instead of being entrusted to those whe show little or no qualification for such impor- tant work. were handed over to those who ar< u&pjple of conducting tluem, and would devotf the necessary time to study and preparation Well-known hymns might .1 be made greatei pse of and why not iiavei an occasional solo 01 quartette by members of the classes? Thii prac-tiee has been adopted in some instances, wit! the result that the accommodation has no' been equal to the attendance." :>I't.

An ArmiessMan asJehu. ¡ — I HE GUIDES THE HORSES WITH HIS FEET. ,Charles Unthan Controls his Team as Dexterously as a Veteran Horseman. It certainly was a most extraordinary drive. The horses were ordinary enough, but the man on the driver's seat had no hands' and no arms, and the route was along .several crowded JSew York thoroughfares, at 2m hour when the traffic was dense and pleasure at its height. The vehicle was Sandow's dog-cart. acd behind the caft canie the strong- man's great Danish boar-hound Juno. Sandow himself sai besidf the driver, not as a measure or precaution bw I because he and the man holding the resns iux old friends. The driver was Unthan, the man born without arms, who has learned to be handier with his feet than the average man who 'I' has all his limbs and members. The armless driver wore a blue sack suit and a high hat. He is a big broad-shoulder fellow, very good natured, and well educated. Be is 44 vean old, and from a lifetime of practice he how learned to use his lege and his toes in every way and for every purpose that an ordinary man requires arms and hands for. He can button his collar and whip his handkerchief out of his ooafc pocket as easily as you or I can. He I, lifted his hat courteously as the crowd which had gathered gave a little cheer. I The Armless Man Driving, On each foot he wore a toeless stocking, which corresponds in appearance with a woman's long-armed "mitt." It leaves his toes free to 00 their work of fingere, but thia was a day when a man wanted a glove to drive or walk with, and handling the reme numbed Uitfehan's toes aDd the air chilled them. The trip was full of incident, and oalg the most skilful driving brought us back to our starting point without a mishap. Un- than drove down Broadway, which, at the hour of gathering dusk, was crowded with vehicles and cars. Bessie Bellwood passed in a hansom, and the vivacious London singer stood up to wave a hand to her fellow stage ;1p')?,le. srying "I hope you're enjoying yow» selves." A final stop was made at the Im- perial Hotel, where, a greai cpowd gathered, and then the horses were taken around to the livery stable. The driver created a sensafcior here. "I would have never have trusted tb.3i team out of the stable if you had said yor were going to drive," said the manager.

SCENE AT CHURCH. A Mumbles Parishioner Gives Church Wardens Trouble, Some sensation has bees caused at th. Mumbles recently by the determined action of a young man named Henry Mock, who insists upon occupying a eertain seat in the church. On March 7, after some unpleasantness on the preceding Sunday, he received a letter from Mr. W. E. Collins, churchwarden, requesting him to take seat No. 58 instead of No. 75, or the churchwardens would be bound to exercise their authority and remove him from the former pew. On Sunday morning Mr. Meek defied them, although cpi-,ealed to by the vicar to give way. In the evening the sexton found him again occupying the seat, and advised him to leave. Mr. Collins, the churchwarden, then went for & constable, and the two church wardens having secured the presence of Sergea.nt Titus Daries, approached Mock's seat and ag.t.in asked him to leave and go tc the other seat which had been allocated to him. He, however, refused. aiaif the two churchwardens mildly, but firmly, re- moved him from the one seat to the other. Excite- ment, of course, reigned amongst the congrega- tion when the churchwardens actually asserted their authority, but the scene was soon over.

JOACHIM AT CARDIFF. The Great Violinist May be Heard a( the Park-hall. One of the chief events of the Cardiff musical year takes place this (Tuesday) evening, whox the great violinist. Dr. Joachim, appears at tW concluding concert of the series given by tlva college committee. The "Athenaeum," speakina of his- playing at one of the St. James's-hiit concerts a week or two ago. says that it was "faultless alike in tone, phra-sing, and iistoratf tion. Not for several years has he been in- such splendid 'form' as at present." The sarnei journal draws attention to the fact that it Ï&: the fiftieth anniversary both of Herr Joachim 's; and of Signor Piatti's first appearances in Lon-. don. and remarks:—"Some recognition of tliia double jubilee should certainly be made; but it must be left to the countless admirers of of the greatest instrumental artistes of i:h« nineteenth century to say how it should ba done." The pianiste at to-night's concert- is ta be Miss Agnes Zimmermann. and the two dis* tinguished artistes are to,be heard together iit Beethoven's violin and piano sonata Op. 30. No. 1. The vocalist is a ladv who has not before been heard in Cardiff, but those who have heard Miss Marie Fillunger sing report that she has a, soprano voice of extraordinary beauty, purity, and force. She takes somewhat the same p'ace amongst, soprano singers that Mr. Hensdftell does amongst baritones. Like him. too. sh8 chooses the masterpieces of vocal composition as her contributions to the programme. With these singers audiences are able to fed secure that they will not undergo the tantalisation of hearing the powers of magnificent vric-es lavished on composition* that are trashy ujs tri i"i al.. null j jiu ii
